The Blooming of Delphinium

 








 



The Blooming of Delphinium is another interesting tale from Holly Varni Delphinium Hayes, a flower shop owner, can tell by someone’s scent whether they will be friend or foe.  When she meets Elliot Sturgis, the director of Moonberry Lake’s Senior Care Facility, she senses violets but also a bit of harshness!


It is fun to see Delphinium interact with the quirky elderly individuals who are never far from her shop.  It is also fun to learn what each scent indicates on the pages of this tale.  This group of characters from the nursing facility bring a lot of color to the pages of this tale!


After Delphinium and Elliot have a major conflict, hold tight to see if they are ever able to find any resolution.  This is definitely a tale worth reading!


I received a copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my review.
